Philip, Great Question! Go look at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html This should help. The Tomcat folks have implemented log4j which you can use to redirect the output from the CMD window to a log file. Give this a try. Its easy to set up. There may be others ways to accomplish this but I think this will work for you. - andy

How do I tell Tomcat to dump the traces to console/stdout to also dump to file "catalina.out"? Thanks for all pointers!
